  2. Determining If The System Is Alive

  3. Determining If The System Is Alive • Network Ping Sweeps • Ping is traditionally used to send ICMP ECHO (Type 8) packets to a target system • Response is ICMP ECHO_REPLY (Type 0) indicating the target system is alive • Traffic can be ICMP, ARP, TCP, or UDP

  4. ARP Host Discovery • Demo: Cain

  5. ARP Host Discovery

  6. ARP Scan • Advantages • Operates at layer 2 • A firewall will not conceal a device from an ARP scan • Disadvantage • Must be on target’s network segment • Cannot scan through routers

  7. ARP Scanning Tools • arp-scan • Linux command-line tool • Nmap • -PR to do ARP scan • -sn to skip host discovery • Cain • Sniffer tab • Enable sniffer • Click +

  8. Demo:Nmap

  9. ICMP Packet Types • Message Type: 0 - Echo Reply • Message Type: 3 - Destination Unreachable • Message Type: 4 - Source Quench • Message Type: 5 - Redirect • Message Type: 8 – Echo Request • Message Type: 11 - Time Exceeded • Message Type: 12 - Parameter Problem • Message Type: 13 - Timestamp • Message Type: 14 - Timestamp Reply • Message Type: 15 - Information Request • Message Type: 16 - Information Reply • Message Type: 17 – Address Mask Request • Message Type: 18 – Address Mask Reply

  10. ICMP Queries • icmpquery uses ICMP type 13 (TIMESTAMP) to find the system time, which shows its timezone • ICMP type 17 (ADDRESS MASK REQUEST) shows the subnet mask • Link Ch 2n

  11. Network Discovery Tools

  12. Nmap ICMP Options

  13. nping (Included with Nmap)

  14. SuperScan • Windows freeware • Not so fast anymore • Does PING scanning, using several types of ICMP packets • Also does port scanning, banner grabbing, whois, and enumeration

  15. Unix Ping Detection Tools • Scanlogd • Courtney • Ippl • Protolog

  16. ICMP Blocking • ICMP is often blocked these days • Blocked by default in Win XP SP2, Win 2003 SP 1, and Vista • If ICMP is blocked, use port scanning • Slower than ping sweeping • SuperScan for Windows • Nmap for Linux, Unix, or Windows • Hping2 for Unix (can fragment packets)

  17. Ping Sweeps Countermeasures • Detecting Ping Sweeps • Network-based Intrusion Detection Systems like Snort detect ping sweeps • Ping scans will be in the host logs • Firewalls can detect ping scans

  18. Blocking ICMP • Routers may require some ICMP packets, but not all types • Safest procedure would be to allow ICMP only from your ISP, and only to public servers on your DMZ

  19. Other ICMP Threats • ICMP can be used for a Denial of Service attack • ICMP can be used as a covert channel with Loki • Allowing unauthorized data transfer • Such as control signals for a back-door trojan • Links Ch 2l, Ch 2m

  20. Determining Which Services are Running or Listening

  21. Normal TCP Handshake Client SYN  Server Client  SYN/ACK Server Client ACK  Server After this, you are ready to send data

  22. SYN Port Scan Client SYN  Server Client  SYN/ACK Server Client RST  Server The server is ready, but the client decided not to complete the handshake

  23. Types of Port Scans • SYN scan • Stealthy scan, because session handshakes are never completed • That keeps it out of some log files • Three states • Closed • Open • Filtered

  24. Types of Port Scans • Connect scan • Completes the three-way handshake • Not stealthy--appears in log files • Three states • Closed • Open • Filtered

  25. Other Scan Types • TCP FIN scan • TCP Xmas Tree scan (FIN, URG, and PUSH) • TCP Null scan • Handled differently by Linux and Windows • TCP ACK scan • Returns RST unless the port is filtered

  26. UDP Scanning • No handshake, so less useful than TCP scans • Much more powerful in newer versions of Nmap • Sends valid UDP requests to well-known ports • Send a DNS query to port 53, etc. • Response indicates open UDP port

  27. TCP Header • WINDOW indicates the amount of data that may be sent before an acknowledgement is required

  28. TCP Window Scan • Sends ACK packets • Both open and closed ports reply with RST packets • But on some operating systems, the WINDOW size in the TCP header is non-zero for open ports, because the listening service does sometimes send data • Link Ch 2x

  29. RPC Scan • SunRPC (Sun Remote Procedure Call) is a common UNIX protocol used to implement many services including NFS (Network File System) • The RPC scan works on Unix systems, including Solaris • Enumerates RPC services, which are rich in exploitable security holes • See link Ch 2y

  30. Nmap • Interesting options -f fragments packets -D Launches decoy scans for concealment -I IDENT Scan – finds owners of processes (on Unix systems) -b FTP Bounce (see next slide)

  31. FTP Bounce Attacker 1. Transfer attack code to FTP server 2. Request file transfer to target Target FTP Server

  32. FTP Bounce • Old FTP servers allowed a request for a file transfer to a third IP address • This could be used to send email or other data to the third computer from the FTP server • Very old attack, from 1995 • Almost unusable today

  33. Windows-Based Port Scanners • SuperScan • Four different ICMP host-discovery techniques • Accurate UDP scan sending "Data+ICMP" • Banner grabbing • Many other tools • Nmap with the Zenmap GUI • Powerful, runs on Windows

  34. Command-line Scanners • Scanline • For Windows • netcat • For Windows and Linux • nmap • Can be run on the command line, on Windows or Linux

  35. Port Scanning Countermeasures • Snort (http://www.snort.org) is a great free IDS (Intrusion Detection System) • [**] spp_portscan: PORTSCAN DETECTED from 192.168.1.10 [**] 05/22-18:48:53.681227 [**] spp_portscan: portscan status from 192.168.1.10: 4 connections across 1 hosts: TCP(0), UDP(4) [**] 05/22-18:49:14.180505 [**] spp_portscan: End of portscan from 192.168.1.10 [**] 05/22-18:49:34.180236

  36. Other Detection Tools • Scanlogd • Detects TCP Port Scans on Unix • Firewalls can detect port scans • Use threshold logging to limit the volume of email alerts sent by your firewall • That groups similar alerts into a single email • Attacker • Windows tool from Foundstone to detect port scans

  37. Preventing Port Scans • You can't stop the scans from coming in, but you can mimimize your attack surface • Disable unnecessary services

  38. Detecting the Operating System • Banner-Grabbing • Many services announce what they are in response to requests • Banner grabbers just collect those banners • But they could be spoofed

  39. Active Stack Fingerprinting • Details of the TCP Packets are used to identify the operating system • Nmap does this, using these probes: • FIN probe • Bogus Flag probe • Initial Sequence Number (ISN) sampling • "Don't fragment bit" monitoring • TCP initial window size • And many others

  40. Operating System Detection Countermeasures • IDS can detect operating system detection scans • Hacking the OS to change its TCP stack is dangerous, and not recommended • Best policy: Accept that your firewalls and proxy servers will be scanned and fingerprinted, and harden them against attackers who know the OS

  41. Passive Operating System Identification • Sniff traffic and guess the OS from that • Examine these features • TTL (time-to-live) • Window size • DF (Don't fragment bit) • siphon was the first tool to do this, it's out of date • p0f is a newer one (link Ch 2z6)

  42. p0f on Vista • Run p0f in a Command Prompt Window • Open a Web page • It fingerprints any OS it can see on the LAN

  43. Nmap Plus Metasploit • Nmap scans can be imported into Metasploit for further exploitation • Details at end of chapter 2

  44. Automated Discovery Tool: Cheops-ng • Combines Ping, Traceroute, Port Scans, and OS Detection to draw a network map • Link Ch 2z7 • Windows 7's "Network Map" is similar
